Hey Professor, What’s In Your iPod?
Or, in your 8-track player (as the case may be). This question was recently posed to the Psyc faculty and received the following responses…

It’s probably not surprising but I don’t own an iPod, or any kind of music making machine for that matter. I really don’t care that much for music. I like books on tape or CD, but that’s not really the same thing I guess. |

I DO have an iPod. It’s a few years old. It belonged to my 14 yr. old daughter. When she got a new one she gave the old to her 7 yr. old brother. When she got a NEWER one she gave her second one to my 7 yr. old again. He gave me the old, old one. What’s inside? Ray Charles, Delbert McClinton, Albert Collins, Bill Withers, Steely Dan, & old Motown. Newer stuff? Nickleback, Cartel & McFly (yes I have a 14 yr. old). |

This is too embarrassing to answer –..please recall back to the days when (your kids) wanted to listen to Sesame Street incessantly, and so you gave in because you would do anything for (them)! My play list (in the iPod I don’t own) - kid’s music, classical and when I’m in my office streaming ITunes 80’s music. |
Thompson: |
Lately I’ve been listening to William Byrd, Orlando Gibbons, and some Early American Shape Note singing. Bach is the best all-around “fallback” to listen to. If I listen to more recent music, it’s likely to be Gladys Knight , Aretha Franklin, or Bonnie Raitt. |
Garcia: |
I purchased my ipod this summer for a trip to Hungary. I’ve been istening to Neil Young, Sufjan Stevens, the new Pete Yorn album, and Prince (of course!). I’m also a big fan of This American Life (weekly podcast) and the Ricky Gervais show. |

I mainly use my IPod for working out…so it generally has more upbeat stuff, including some international music, a chunk of fave rap/hip hop/rock songs, a little Christian gospel, Evanescence, and Fiona Apple, Phish, Lauryn Hill/Wycliffe Jean (WHY haven’t the Fugees gotten back together?!?). |
